The decision
CSC published this decision as a scanned image. The text below was recognized by OCR, read twice and checked against the meeting minutes, but OCR can misread a word. The official document is the record.
BackgroundThe appeal of Eric Meikle, Tree Maintenance Worker 1, Linden, Department of Public Property and Community Services, removal, effective August 16, 2019, on charges, was heard by Administrative Law Judge Andrew M. Baron (ALJ), who rendered his initial decision on November 21, 2022. No exceptions were filed.
AnalysisHaving considered the record and the ALJ’s initial decision, and having made an independent evaluation of the record, the Civil Service Commission, at its meeting of December 21, 2022, accepted and adopted the Findings of Fact and Conclusion as contained in the attached ALJ’s initial decision.
ORDER
The Civil Service Commission finds that the action of the appointing authority in removing the appellant was justified. The Commission therefore affirms that action and dismisses the appeal of Eric Meikle.
ClosingThis is the final administrative determination in this matter. Any further review should be pursued in a judicial forum.

The labels are ours. The kind of matter and the outcome are our reading of the minutes; the ACTION text the Commission recorded is quoted verbatim above. A decision applies the rules to its own facts and is not a prediction for any other matter, and nothing here is legal advice.
